Battlefield 3 Back to Karkand DLC Dated

About a week and a half before Christmas, Battlefield 3 fans will receive an early gift from DICE and EA: the Back to Karkand DLC. Revealed on the official Battlefield blog is the PS3 release date for the add-on -- December 6th. Since PS3 users get the DLC a week before us on Xbox LIVE, that slates the Xbox release for...according to my calculations...December 13th.

The map pack, as you well know by now, includes four maps reimagined from Battlefield 2 , as well five new achievements, three new vehicles (the VSTOL fighter jet, Desert Buggy, and an APC) and ten new weapons that can be used in the main game as well.

Best of all, the 1200 MSP DLC is free to anyone who bought the Limited Edition of Battlefield 3.
